Download as PDF 66638 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 16, 2009 / Notices srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES The Compliance Working Group states that the question presented arises because of an unintended inconsistency in the treatment of shared employees under the two major rulemakings— Order Nos. 697 and 717—that impose restrictions on employee interactions and communications. The Compliance Working Group states that Order No. 697 sought to ensure consistency between the two rules by holding that shared employees, for purposes of its Affiliate Restrictions, would be the same as later defined by the Standards of Conduct. It states that an inconsistency later arose because Order No. 717 ultimately revised the Standards of Conduct by eliminating the concept of shared employees altogether.3 The Compliance Working Group states that this disconnect has created a compliance conundrum that should be remedied. The Compliance Working Group asks the Commission to interpret the Affiliate Restrictions to permit sharing of employees who are not ‘‘transmission function employees’’ or ‘‘marketing function employees’’—the same sharing that is now permitted under the Standards of Conduct. The Compliance Working Group states that this interpretation is consistent with the purpose of Order Nos. 697 and 717, will facilitate compliance by regulated companies, and enhance enforcement by the Commission. It also states that, as was the case with Order No. 717, this interpretation would not eliminate the residual protection afforded by the rule against undue discrimination. Any person desiring to comment in the above-referenced proceeding may file comments with the Commission on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on November 30, 2009. The Commission encourages electronic submission of comments in lieu of paper using the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://www.ferc.gov.

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Entities potentially affected by this action are the owners or operators of industrial/commercial/ institutional steam generating units. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Db. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 214 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of industrial/ commercial/institutional steam generating units. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,500.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $94,838,557, which includes $63,338,557 in labor costs, $9,000,000 in capital/startup costs, and $22,500,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to adjustment. The total number of respondents has increased from 1,185 to 1,500 which results in a greater number of respondents, responses, and burden hours. The burden also increased somewhat due to calculation errors in the previous ICR that are corrected in this ICR. In addition, an increase in respondent and Agency labor costs resulted from labor rate increases and the inclusion of managerial and clerical labor hours. The previous ICR showed only the technical hours. Dated: December 7, 2009. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.
